I woke up to my alarm and turned it off. I really don't want to get up. I moaned as I sat up to see Morgana and Kuro looking at me. I sighed as I got up, walking out. I fed the pair and made a coffee. I sat down on the lounge and sighed. I grabbed my phone and yawned, then called Hanako. I wonder how she is.
"Akira, good timing. I was just about to call you. Are you okay? Have you seen any Doves?" Hanako asked.
"What? No." I replied.
"I just had them here, they are looking for Umi. Be careful. Say you don't know where she is, that you looked after her for a while and met up with her parents in the 20th Ward. Family friend." Hanako told me.
"Ah, okay. Got it." I said.
I then heard loud knocking.
"I've got to go, that could be them." I said.
"Be careful." Hanako told me.
"I will." I said.
I hanged up and walked to the door as the person knocked again. I opened it to see a man in a suite. I sighed.
"Are you Kurusu, Akira Kurusu?" he asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"I'm from the CCG, may I come in?" he asked.
"Of course, I rather that. Don't want my cats running out." I told him.
I walked back and the man walked inside, taking his shoes off. I quickly closed the door and lead him in.
"Does the name Umi Tatsu mean anything to you?" the man asked.
"Yeah, she's a family friend that I looked after for a while. I met up with her parents a few days ago in the 20th Ward." I explained.
"Do you know much about these family friends?" the man asked.
"Not really but they needed my help. They had no one else to turn to." I told him. "They are nice but I properly won't see them ever again. I barely keep in touch with them in the first place." I admitted. "Shame, I am going to miss her. She was such a great kid." I whispered.
"Stay away from her." the man told me.
"Huh?" I whispered. "Uh sure." I whispered.
"They are dangerous." the man told me.
I sighed.
"I see, I will then." I said.
"I'll be in touch." the man said, walking off.
I heard the door open and close, then sigh. I have to be extra careful now. I pulled out my phone and call Hanako, grabbing my coffee.
"How did it go?" Hanako asked.
"I have no idea but I have to be careful." I admitted.
"Call me when you are done at university." Hanako told me.
"Sure, it's a long day so I won't be done till three." I told her.
"I don't care, call me." Hanako told me.
"Got it." I said. "I better go and get ready." I then said.
"Please, be careful Aki." Hanako told me. "You have been in the 13th Ward for so long, I'm worried someone is on to you." Hanako told me.
"Me too." I whispered.
"You know someone is on to you." Hanako said.
"His name is Kei Ren. I'll explain everything later. I really have to go." I told her.
"Right, take care." Hanako said.
I hanged up and sighed. I finished my coffee and quickly got ready. I grabbed my stuff and sighed. I heard knocking on the door and walked over. I open it to see Miyu, Makoto and Yu.
"Ready?" Miyu asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
I walked out and closed the door, locking it.
"Are you okay?" Yu asked.
"Yeah, just tired." I replied.
"Let's go." Miyu said.
I nod. We started walking and I yawned.
"So why are you two here?" I asked.
"Came to pick you up." Yu replied.
I sighed, I have a bad feeling about this.
